The first band of the evening was Monty Are I. They weren't bad and the singer amused me, plus they had a trombone. The singer was kind of tiny. And had hair that Dee thought was like mine. But really it was only vaugly so. Long bangs slicked to his head, shaved on the sides, and a fin in the back. I think the most amusing thing was a one point he told the audience that if they were there with their boyfriend or girlfriend they should slow dance to the song they were about to play. And if any couple made out the entire song he would give them a CD, a hug and a dollar. Evidently a couple girls up front by the stage actually did. After saying he couldn't believe they did that he said that it was the first time he'd gotten a boner during a show and the first time he'd ever said that. It was one of those, okay he doesn't have a brain mouth filter does he? I took one photo while they played, and it sort of came out.
( Monty Are I )Next up was New Years Day. The lead singer was a girl, so that was cool. What wasn't cool was the annoying mosh pit guys who felt it necessary to chant, you are hot, in between every song. One of the bands songs was about how much Valentine's Day sucks. And that is something I can get behind. Not one of the photos I took of them really has anything that looks much like a person. So no photos of them.
The we had Amber Pacific. Although I'm pretty sure I've never heard the name, I did know the last song they played. And I enjoyed their music when I wasn't trying to fend off the annoying mosh pit guys. There was like three of them and they kept running into me and Dee and we were not impressed. And I even got a photo, possibly the best as far as it being a person.
( Amber Pacific )Now for the grand finally, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. They were kick ass even if they didn't play my favorite song. I felt bad for the singer, it's got to suck preforming sick. At one point some girl yelled 'take it off' at him and he looked really confused and said something like 'my shirt?' The guitarist that was in front of where I was took this as a clue to run up to the bass played and try to pull his shirt off. When the bassist retreated to the back of the stage he followed him and smacked him on the ass. The other guitarist was also entertaining. Mostly because he pretty much played the whole show with either his hair covering his face or stand at the back of the stage with his back to the audience. Although what I think really takes the cake as far as the audience yelling at them was the guy up in front who yelled I love you in between every song. By the third or forth time it happened the poor singer looked a little scared.
Considering how many photos I actually took during their show it sucks more didn't come out. The best ones to be found bellow.
( Red Jumpsiut Apparatus )And now for the picture that will get me killed. One of Dee. And a couple of me. One of which I don't think I actually meant to take. And one I took when I got home to show my poor purple spotted shirt.
( People I know )In other concert related news my ears stopped ringing sometime between when I went to bed and when I woke up. I'm thinking maybe I should find a pair of earplugs before the MCR show. And my voice, is only very nearly shot. If I don't talk for a stretch of time it pretty much goes away and I can't really yell or be loud. But it was totally worth it.
